Q5: In and Out of an Imaginary Dream

IN AND OUT OF AN IMAGINARY DREAM

A dream.
And I wake with a pebble of an idea
lodged in my brain that there was

a table
with me on one side and on the other
the unborn and dead. My babies lost
before term, grandparents, my parents,

a husband,
three dogs, and that seagull that hit
the window like a stone. And there’s

a door
at the far end of the table. It opens,
and a waiter carries a tray with a thick
book called “The Liar’s Dictionary”.

Everyone
wants to know if their name is included
on the acknowledgement page, and

here I am
sitting at the corner window of the
Café of Imaginary Dreams, writing
this on a white paper serviette, and

waiting
for the door at the end of the table
to open.
